The Property — SUNSET
The Sunset is a no-fuss 3-star in Corfu Town, with a roof terrace that delivers on its name: west-facing views over the old fortress and the Ionian Sea at sundown. The lobby is tiled cool and simple, with a worn leather sofa and a receptionist who can tell you which bus goes to Paleokastritsa. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, central base within walking distance of the Liston and the Old Port, and who care more about a good view from the top floor than hotel restaurant noise.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony, and its strategic position made it a target for centuries. Venetian rule from the 14th to 18th centuries left the most visible mark: the old town’s narrow cobbled streets, high-arched arcades and the iconic Liston promenade were built to resemble Venice itself. The French and British followed before the island united with Greece in 1864. Today, the UNESCO-listed old town blends Italianate elegance with Greek island life, full of pastel-washed houses, hidden churches and cafes where locals play backgammon over iced coffee.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to SUNSET, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize potential street noise, as the hotel is located in Corfu. The hotel has 4 floors, and the lift only goes up to the 4th floor, so rooms on the 4th floor will have the least exposure to street noise. Additionally, rooms on the north side of the hotel may receive some noise from the service entrance, so it's best to request a room on the south side for a quieter experience.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be noisier due to the proximity to the hotel entrance and potential street noise. Also, rooms near the service entrance may be noisy due to the comings and goings of staff and deliveries.
Best views
Unfortunately, with the hotel's address in Corfu and its orientation, there are no specific views to request, as the hotel is located in a city setting and not near a beach or notable landmark.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor is the quietest, as it's the highest floor and farthest from the street. The 3rd floor may also be a good option, as it's still relatively high up and has a good chance of being quieter than the lower floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel's location in Corfu means that you may hear some noise from the street, especially from the main road. Additionally, the hotel's lift may make some noise when operating.
Insider tips
Try to request a room with a balcony, as this will give you some fresh air and a chance to people-watch from a quiet spot. If you're arriving by car, be aware that parking may be limited in the area, so consider requesting a room with a view of the street to keep an eye on your vehicle.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Corfu
💡 If you're visiting on a Sunday morning, you'll see a cricket match—Corfu is the only place in Greece where the sport is played regularly. Buy a cheese pie from a nearby bakery and sit by the Maitland Rotunda.
💡 Go just before 5pm if you want to hear the local women crowd in for the evening litany. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered. The reliquary can be kissed after the service if you follow the queue.
💡 Skip the cable car tourist train and walk from the end of the bus line (green bus from San Rocco Square, 1.50 euros). For a swim, take the little boat from the pier below the monastery to Vido Island—free if you swim across from the mainland (200m).
💡 Bring water and wear sturdy shoes—there are many steep steps and no shade. Entry costs 6 euros (2024), but the permanent archaeological exhibition inside is included.
💡 Entry is 4 euros, but free on the first Sunday of each month (November to March). The museum is small—you can do it properly in 45 minutes. Combine it with a walk through the nearby Anemomylos neighborhood for a coffee stop.
